Here's a song I wrote for my songwriting class.. Not the best take, so please excuse the cracks & whatnot.. :/ but still enjoooy!!(:

"Blush" lyrics
Verse 1
I cannot understand why, oh why
I cannot look you straight in the eye
I tend to look away, I cannot stay here.. any longer
With that thing ya do..

Prechorus
And I'm losin' my cool
And I'm lookin' like a fool..
'Cause you make me blush

Chorus
You make me blush
You make me blush
You make me, you make me
You make me blush

You make me blush
And it's so silly 'cause..
Because you make me, you make me
You make me blush

Verse 2
People always stare
How I wish you were not there to see me
It's embarrassing..
I cannot make it stop
The blood is rushing to the top of my cheeks
With that thing ya do..

Prechorus
And I'm losin' my cool
And I'm lookin' like a fool
'Cause you make me blush

Repeat Chorus

Bridge
It's really warm in here, baby!
I need some place to hide
I hate how it's obvious..
But there's nothing I can do to slow down this rush
Oh, you make me blush!!

Repeat Chorus

Blush (demo)

So in our songwriting class, we were assigned to choose from 2 sets of lyrics to songs that have already been made and to write our own song using those lyrics. I chose the lyrics to "Testify" by Melissa Etheridge.. and this is what came out of it.. Haha, very interesting assignment!! I had never heard the song prior to coming up with the music for it, so it was fairly interesting to listen to the original afterwards. But yes, I hope you enjoy this version of "Testify"!

Morning's hard coffee's cold
Pretending that the days mean more than getting old
Stale headlines other drenched in pride
Marching to their drum with fear standing beside
But if I close my eyes and throw back my head
I can see his face and I hear the words he said
And my memories ache and my senses burn
Did he dream too late will we ever learn

I, I want to testify
My love still lives and breathes
And my soul is screaming why
The thoughts won't let me sleep
Don't let hearts break
And don't let children cry
Before it gets too late
I want to testify
